Trust and Value

Trust and value are most important when shopping for used equipment, especially when dealing with used presses.

You’ll never find these two words, Reconditioned and Guaranteed, in any auction brochure or e-commerce listing…nor do they mention services like “F.O.B.”, “Under Power” or “Terms”. Instead they use terms like “As-Is”, “Where-Is” and not to mention “Buyers Premium.”
